About this map

Fort King Burial Grounds sits as a significant historical marker on the eastern side of Ocala, preserving the legacy of the area's early frontier history. The landscape transitions from the urban street grid of the city to the dense wetlands of Marshall Swamp and the headwaters of the Silver River. This 2018 survey reveals the extensive modern residential developments around Silver Springs Shores, contrasted with the established community of Silver Springs and the older settlement at Montague.

Genealogists will find a cluster of significant burial sites on the western edge, including Woodlawn Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Highland Memorial Park. The map also traces the Florida National Scenic Trail as it winds through the southern reaches near Camp Roosevelt, illustrating how public recreation and conservation corridors have been maintained amidst the growing suburban footprint of Marion County.
